ENGLISH TEACHING: HELP WANTED!

Below you see the faces of typical Czechs.  What do they have in common?  They attend an English class or conversation group led by one of our team members. 

What else do they have in common?  None of them know Christ as their personal savior and most don’t believe or know that God exist.

Have an impact on church planting by using your English.
§         Do you speak English
§         Do you want to make a difference in the World?
§         Do you know that YOU are in demand?
§         Do you know that you can lead English conversation groups or teach English?

We have an urgent need for people to help us with this ministry.  We have more people wanting to be in English conversation groups, children's after-school English clubs or to study English, than we have people to offer all of these.  Would you help?  Contact Hans Deutschmann, hdeutschmann@mtwczech.org.

English Conversation Groups and Classes:

     The Czech Republic has become very western except for the people’s knowledge of English, which children and adults want to learn. We urgently need people to lead English fun clubs in elementary schools or conversation groups or formal language classes with adults. God has used the English ministries to develop relationships with Czechs that have led several to explore the truth of the gospel. You can serve short-term or long-term with English ministries to lead. Some training in TESL is helpful, but the primary need is for an English speaker who is willing to develop sincere relationships. You will serve with MTW church planters as this ministry is directly related to the church-planting works with the Reformed Church.

     A local Czech elementary school asked us to offer classes for children in their after school program and an adult evening English class.  Then a mother of a child in another elementary school called and asked if we could teach in that school as well.  Presently we have three classes for children in these schools and an evening class for parents.

     At our Christian Center we offer classes for beginners, intermediates and advanced students.  English conversation groups and teaching English is the one thing that almost all Americans can do.  However, we don’t have enough people to do all these for next year.  Could you help us?  Would you help us?  Contact Hans Deutschmann, hdeutschmann@mtwczech.org, or at MTW Debbie McCormick by e-mail or at 678-823-2565 or 1­800-270-9932.

English Camps:

     Petra, Peter, Eliska, Hana, Honza, are the names of just a few people who have accepted Christ as a result of their attending an English camp.

     PCA churches send teams each summer to do English camps churches in the Czech Republic.  What is an English Camp?  For one week Czechs and Americans are together at a retreat center or a hotel.  Each day English classes are taught for people of various English abilities: beginners, intermediate and advanced.  The camp, also, is a time for fun and games, organized group activities, time to talk individually, singing and most of all time to establish relationships between a Christian and a non-Christian.  We have seen that during the week and often after the week as the relationships continue Czechs start to understand the gospel and some believe.

     Since Czechs are usually ignorant of the Bible, God and the Gospel and since they are generally indifferent to religious matters, it takes time for them to become open to talking about the gospel.  It is after sometimes years of knowing a person through these camps that they finally accept Christ.  That time is a great investment considering the eternal blessings it brings to those who accept Christ and to those who carry the message.
